Memory error during migration

Appwrite migration crashes with the following message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 33554440 bytes) in /usr/src/code/vendor/utopia-php/database/src/Database/Document.php on line 431

Is there a way to increase PHPs allowed memory? Or do I need to do something else?

steps to replicate?

This happens because the migration is using more memory than PHP allows. You can increase the limit like:
php -d memory_limit=2G appwrite ...
Are you migrating a large collection or using Docker defaults? I can help fix it.

Thank you for your responses 🙂

I had to

• reduce the days the audit-files are stored
• delete documents from big collections
  but now the migration went through.

I am mainly using docker defaults. I have not found a corresponding .env-Variable regaring PHP. Where exactly do I have to input "php -d memory_limit=2G appwrite ..." and what does the ... stand for?

Glad it worked! I can show you exactly where to add that command in your Docker setup and what the “…” stands for. Send me a message and I’ll guide you step by step.
